Chapter 284: Certain Victory

At the critical moment, Meng Yifan tapped his toes, executed the Lingbo Microsteps, and rushed to the side of Zhu Ganglie. With a flip of his right hand, he pulled a sixteen-tube rocket launcher from his Space Ring and shoved it directly into Zhu Ganglie's torn-open belly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" A full volley of sixteen rockets fired, all exploding inside Zhu Ganglie's belly.

Each explosion caused Zhu Ganglie's body to shake violently, with streams of blood spurting from its seven orifices, looking truly miserable.

Zhu Ganglie's internal organs had first been scorched by Meng Shuangdao's Jiuyou Fire Lotus, and then bombarded by the sixteen rockets; even as a Fourth Grade Monster, it could no longer hold on.

Its heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were blasted into a pulp one after another.

At the same time, light surged over Lang Jiao's body, and the sharp horn on top of its head flew out, drilling from Zhu Ganglie's eye into its brain, churning its brains into a paste.

"I am not reconciled!" Zhu Ganglie roared, cast a venomous look at Meng Yifan, Meng Shuangdao, and Lang Jiao, and then collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

"Ding! Hunted a Level 4 Intermediate Demon Beast, gained 1400 Experience Value." The prompt from the Game Panel sounded once again.

Zhu Ganglie's demon soul drifted out from its corpse. Meng Yifan had been prepared; with a shake of his Ghost Head Blade, a strange suction force appeared out of thin air, pulling Zhu Ganglie's demon soul directly into the mysterious space within the Ghost Head Blade.

Zhang Butou and Jiang Tian, these two Third Grade Ghost Generals, needed not only to undergo the test of Thunder Tribulation to advance to the Fourth Grade, but also to absorb a Rank 4 Yin Soul; Zhu Ganglie's Rank 4 Yin Soul was just right for Zhang Butou's advancement.

Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power enveloped Zhu Ganglie's corpse, and with a thought, he stored the corpse into his Space Ring.

A Fourth Grade Monster is a treasure from head to toe; he would slowly dissect Zhu Ganglie's corpse after returning.

While Meng Yifan and the others were battling Zhu Ganglie, outside, guns and cannons were also roaring.

The people who had gone out of the city to fight this time each had an AK47, and many were carrying Rocket Launchers; they kept firing guns and launching rockets at the pig-type Demon Beasts swarming in from all directions.

"Rat-tat-tat!" The AK47s were firing in continuous bursts.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Rockets were launched one after another.

Dense bullets and a large number of rockets struck down countless pig demons.

It took a long time to describe Meng Yifan and the others finishing off Zhu Ganglie, but in reality, they were all Fourth-grade High-level Experts, and their attack speed was extremely fast; the whole process lasted no more than ten seconds.

In these short ten seconds, Meng Dayong and the others had already killed over three thousand pig demons.

"Go! Retreat according to the original plan!" Meng Yifan led Lang Jiao and Meng Shuangdao out, then led Meng Dayong and the others to begin their retreat.

The tens of thousands of pig demons surrounding them naturally would not let Meng Yifan and his group leave; pig demons from all directions rushed over like an endless flood, wanting to drown Meng Yifan and the others.

However, over a hundred AK47s and over a hundred Rocket Launchers opened fire in one direction, and the dense rain of bullets erupted with unparalleled impact, instantly blasting the Demon Beasts blocking Meng Yifan and his group into fragments.

The three Fourth-grade High-level Experts—Meng Yifan, Meng Shuangdao, and Lang Jiao—led the charge, and with the dense torrent of bullets behind them, they easily broke out of the Pig Demon Camp and ran toward the direction of Luolong County.

The violent explosions alarmed the entire Demon Beast camp, and a Monster Army of thousands upon thousands swarmed in from all directions, wanting to block the path of Meng Yifan and his group.

Meng Yifan and his group fought their way out, and when they passed a small mound, Meng Yifan shouted, "Detonate!"

Meng Dayong pulled out a palm-sized remote control and quickly pressed the red button on it.

"Boom! Boom!" The twenty-plus Gunpowder Barrels buried underground were detonated simultaneously; the earth shook and the mountains swayed, and the Demon Beasts near the explosion points were blasted into dust, while those further away were not spared, some bleeding from their seven orifices from the shock and dying on the spot.

Furthermore, the Gunpowder Barrels that Meng Yifan and his group had buried in advance were mixed with a large amount of scrap iron and iron nails; at this moment, these pieces of scrap iron and nails flew out in all directions, and any Demon Beast in this minefield was riddled with holes, a sight too horrible to look at.

This single explosion of Gunpowder Barrels alone killed over three thousand more Demon Beasts, and the Monster Army in the rear looked at the miserable scene of corpses covering the field and trembled with fear.

Some Demon Beasts stopped in their tracks, but there were too many in the Monster Army, and a large number of Demon Beasts swarmed in from other places; Meng Yifan and his group did not dare to linger and continued to run rapidly toward Luolong County.

That night, the wind was high and the moon was dark, with thick clouds covering the sky; it was almost pitch black.

Demon Beasts could basically see at night; some Demon Beasts' eyes emitted a greenish light, while others emitted a scarlet light, like little specks of Ghost Fire floating in the dark night.

When they reached the foot of Luolong City, suddenly, a dozen searchlights lit up at once, illuminating the area under Luolong City as bright as day.

Immediately following, nearly a hundred cannons of various models gathered on the city walls opened fire one after another according to the pre-calibrated firing data, and accompanied by deafening roars, Explosive Shells flew toward the Monster Army.

"Boom! Boom!" The Monster Army was stunned by the dense artillery fire; a large number of Demon Beasts were directly blasted into fragments, and the shattered corpses piled up like mountains, with blood flowing like rivers.

At this time, Hu Dameng arrived with Zhu Meimei and She Qingqing; they already knew that Zhu Ganglie had been killed by Meng Yifan and his group, which left them terrified. They hadn't expected Meng Yifan to be so crazy as to dare to raid a camp guarded by tens of thousands of pig demons with only a hundred or so people, and to have successfully finished off Zhu Ganglie.

"Brother Hu, give the order to attack the city; let's fight to the death with Meng Yifan and the others," Zhu Meimei said.

Hu Dameng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Meng Yifan and the others were well-prepared. Attacking the city at this time is disadvantageous for us. Even if we take it, our army of over a hundred thousand of the Demon Race will suffer heavy casualties, and the losses will outweigh the gains. Let's retreat first, pull back another three miles, and wait for Lang Batian to arrive tomorrow before we attack."

Zhu Meimei was very unreconciled, but she did not dare to launch a solo assault, because Meng Yifan and the others could kill Zhu Ganglie, so they could also kill her.

"Awoo!" Following Hu Dameng's order, the Demon Race army, having suffered losses and defeats, retreated with their tails between their legs, dejected.

The defenders on the city walls were high in spirits and shouted in unison, "Victory! Victory!"

This surprise attack was a complete success; not only was the Fourth Grade Monster Zhu Ganglie killed, but over ten thousand more Demon Beasts were wiped out, dealing a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Demon Race and greatly boosting the morale of the Luolong County defenders.

Meng Yifan checked the Experience Value on the Game Panel and then silently recited in his heart, "Level up!"
